The Police kicked off their world tour tonight in Vancouver and I was one of the lucky 20,000 or so to be there. Thanks to John, we got preferred seats (row 10 floor!) and Chari and I went as our spouses just didn’t consider themselves big enough fans – their loss ;). What a show. Of course, it should be for the price:

But hey, by about halfway through the show it didn’t matter. Forget that, two songs into the show and it was worth it. Message In A Bottle to open, closing with Next To You (in the second encore). Here’s what they played:

• Message in a Bottle
• Synchronicity II
• Spirits (In the Material World)
• Voices Inside My Head/When the World is Running Down (Medley)
• Don’t Stand So Close to Me
• Driven to Tears
• Walking on the Moon
• Truth Hits Everybody
• Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
• Wrapped Around Your Finger
• Bed’s Too Big Without You
• Murder By Numbers
• De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
• Invisible Sun
• Walking In Your Footsteps
• Regatta de Blanc/Can’t Stand Losing You (Medley)
• Roxanne
